Hello, this is the first time I try Fossil on a Win32 system, so I'm guessing I do something wrong. Here is what I did, and what fails:
1) download fossil executable from fossil-scm.org; this is 1.25 [d2e07756d9] 2) in dir '\some_where\repo', clone http://michai@otherhost_on_lan/my_fossil my_fossil.fossil (otherhost_on_LAN is running fossil 1.25 [c7133bd79d], amd64 netbsd) 3) notice the cloned repo is too small; roughly 19 MB instead of expected 311 MB as on the http host (this may be irrelevant - no idea.) 4) in dir '\some_where\src', try to open the cloned repo anyway 5) notice only a _FOSSIL_ file is created, nothing else 6) 'fossil stat' in 'src' shows '[f34e9990ce] initial empty check-in (user: michai, tags: trunk)' (which corresponds to the oldest timeline entry of that repo) I tried cloning another repo from the same host, which went fine. Fossil as http server is running from inetd on 'other_host_on_LAN'. The Win32 host is running Windows XP pro SP3. Running 'fossil clone' locally on 'other_host_on_LAN' works fine for the same repo (with cloned repo being around 466 MB, fwiw). Running 'fossil clone' on another amd64 netbsd, cloning the same repo on 'other_host_on_LAN' works too; the fossil version on that host happened to be 1.24 [8d758d3715] . Perhaps worth knowing, or not: while working on 'other_host_on_LAN', I had trouble adding or checking in (cannot remember) files with strange characters in them - somehow managed anyway, but later removed these files again ('fossil addremove'). In between the initial checkin I saw cloned on the Win32 host and the moment of adding these files, a few other checking had happened (which perhaps means these are 2 unrelated things - no idea). So... that's all; any ideas are welcome. I don't currently have a mingw32/cygwin/whatever native build environment on the Win32 host; if it's relevant, I could install it and try new fossil-versions from source.
